Outlook 2007 starts with minimized window

microsoft-outlook

Outlook 2007, starts at boot, minimized: suddenly, as of 2 weeks ago, when I click on the taskbar icon (Outlook already started but minimized) what opens on screen is a tiny "window" the size of the close-minimize-restore buttons.

I then have to move it down the screen, and drag the borders to bring it to full size, or, sometimes, clicking on the restore button maximizes the tiny window: then, for days, it starts either the same way or in some other small size, not the same as I left it.

I would appreciate suggestions on how to repair this particular example of Outlook not remembering its setting?

I had this issue when my outlook was set to run in minimized mode.

Can you check if you have the same problem by running through the following steps:-

  1. Close all open instances of Outlook.
  2. Click Start > All Program Files > Microsoft Office
  3. Locate Microsoft Outlook, right click it and choose Properties.
  4. In the open box, click Shortcut tab. After Run, check if minimized if selected. If it is selected, select maximized.
  5. Click OK to save the changes.
  6. Start Outlook from Start > All Program Files > Microsoft Office > Microsoft Outlook again.

P.S - With Step 3. You only locate the the instance of Outlook with which you are experiencing the issue.

Cheers !
